ComNet product series RLGE3FE7MS4 is a substation-rated and industrially hardened managed layer 2 Ethernet switch. Fully compliant with the requirements of IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 Class 2, EN50155, Class1/ Division 2 (Groups A, B, C, & D for hazardous environments), and NEMA TS-1/TS-2, the DIN-rail mountable RLGE3FE7MS4 is intended for deployment in environments where high levels of electromagnetic noise and interference (EMI) and severe voltage transients and surges are routinely encountered, such as electrical utility substations and switchyards, heavy manufacturing facilities, track-side electronic equipment, and other severe out-of-plant installations. The RLGE3FE7MS4 provides 7 10/100BASE-TX communications ports, with 3 user-configurable 10/100/1000BASE-TX or 100/1000BASE-FX gigabit combo uplink ports. The use of SFPs for the three (3) gigabit uplink ports provides a truly future-proof platform, where the uplink optics may be changed in the field at any time, to support changes in the user's networking or cable plant requirements as they arise. The internal/self-contained 12 to 60 VDC or 85 to 264 VAC/88 to 370 VDC power supply features redundant power inputs, for the highest possible reliability in those installations where network availability is of the utmost importance. The RLGE3FE7MS4 supports multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols, including ComNet C-Ring (recovery time < 30ms, with >250 switches integrated within the ring), and MSTP with RSTP/STP compatibility. With its extremely fast recovery time, the most mission-critical applications are fully protected from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions due to possible short or long-term faults or outages within the network.
